Raghav Chadha, an MP from Aam Aadmi Party, has appealed his suspension from the Rajya Sabha to the Supreme Court. Chadha faces charges of not getting five Rajya Sabha MPs’ approval before adding their names to a select panel. Five Rajya Sabha members claimed that their names appeared in a committee proposed by Chadha without their permission. Chadha was accused of repeatedly engaging in “gross wrongdoing and misconduct” by Union Minister Piyush Goyal. He moved a change by the applicable rules to refer the Government of National Capital Territory Amendment Bill 2023 to a select committee of 19 people. Chadha stated that his offense was calling out the BJP’s hypocrisy regarding Delhi’s statehood and urging them to adhere to the Advani-vaad and Vajpayee-vad.

Raghav Chadha faced these charges
Chadha faces charges of not getting five Rajya Sabha MPs’ approval before adding their names to a select panel. The MP got expelled from the Rajya Sabha until the privileges committee’s investigation into the allegations against him was complete.
Five Rajya Sabha members—Narhari Amin, S Phangnon Konyak, and Sudhanshu Trivedi of the BJP, M Thambidurai of the AIADMK, and Sasmit Patra of the BJD—claimed that their names appeared in a select committee proposed by Raghav Chadha in the House without their permission.

Union Minister Piyush Goyal’s remark
Raghav Chadha received a charge of repeatedly engaging in “gross wrongdoing and misconduct” by Union minister Piyush Goyal.
According to him, on August 7, he moved a change by the applicable rules to refer the Government of National Capital Territory Amendment Bill 2023 to a select committee of 19 people, including honorable members Narhari Amin, S Phangnon Konyak, Sasmit Patra, M Thambidurai, and Sudhanshu Trivedi.
Raghav Chadha’s statement
In response to his suspension, Chadha stated: “The BJP’s harsh idea to youngsters today is this: If you risk raising inquiries, we will silence your opinion. In my remarks on the Delhi Services Bill in Parliament, I raised tricky issues that the BJP can’t address. For this, I got suspended.”
“My offense was calling out the BJP’s hypocrisy regarding Delhi’s statehood and urging them to adhere to the Advani-vaad and Vajpayee-vaad. “The reality that a 34-year-old MP grasped them liable and displayed them a mirror left them scarred,” he added.
